olive oil

my skin has been so wacky lately and financially I just can't afford to buy product after product. So I have been seeking things in my house to clear up my skin, and help with my wrinkles (being in your 20's is such a bitch). Anyhow few months ago I started using honey and raw sugar on my face as a scrub. My face looked very luminous and i loved the results. Then I stopped doing that and all but forgot about it.

I read some blog about all of the positive attributes of olive oil for the face and it kind of clicked. For thousands of years people used olive oil for cleansing, and all of the really nice expensive face care products have olive oil in them so why not try it. So I will update you in a few weeks about how that is going. On a side note some girl on the blog shared her skin care daily routine and I nearly fell out after I read all this crap she does. Who on earth has time for all this?
